BLACKMAIL IS CHARGED.
Miss Potter Failed to SocuroReleaso
on Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Miss Anna Potter, a young colored
woman who has been In the county
Jail for a week on a chargo of at
tempting to blackmail, was before
Judge It. W. Archbald yesterday on
a writ of habeas corpus. Tho Judge
refused to discharge her.
It nppears that some time ago Miss
Potter went Into tho store of Jonas
Long's Sons, where she alleges sho
lost her pocketbook. She had two of
the clerks In the store, Miss Lizzie
Hlltz and Miss Jessie Brown, arrested
for tho theft of tho pocketbook on a
warrant Issued by Alderman John P.
Kelly, of the Eighteenth ward.
They believed the arrest was merely
an effort to extort money from them
and they had a warrant Issued from
the court of Alderman Ruddy, of the
Twentieth ward, charging Miss Pot
ter with blackmail. In default of ball
she was committed to the county Jail
and has been there ever since. Sho
was represented at the hearing yester
day by Attorney M. J. Ruddy and At
torney M. P. Conry appeared for Miss
I'iltz and Miss Brown.
George Dunn, who Is employed In
Jonas Long's store, testified that ho
was at tho hearing In Alderman Rud
dy's office and heard Miss Potter say
that by the advice of a man named
Porter she had tho young women ar
rested, believing that they or the firm
employing them would pay her to 30t
tle the case.
Alderman John J. Ruddy, of tho
Twentieth ward, testified that at tho
hearing Miss Potter testified that Sam
Porter urged her to have tho arre.'t3
made, saying she would be taken caro
of and the firm would pay to have tho
case settled. "At first." continued tho
alderman, "she said her pocketbook
was taken and fcorae time later sho
said It. was not."
Judge Archbald thought a prima
facie case of blackmail had been made
out and refused to discharge the ac
cused. He agreed, however, to reduce
the ball from $1,000 to $300.
TERRIBLY GASHED HEAD.
Josoph Muliuaki Is tho Possessor
of It.
A miner named Joseph MullnskI, em
ployed at the Mt. Jessup mine, was
caught under a fall while at work yes
terday afternoon and wns seriously
Injured. He sustained a fracture of
the skull, severe cuts upon tho head
and a fracture of the right arm. Ho
was taken In the mine ambulance to
tho Lackawanna hospital, where his
Injuries were dressed by Doctors Wil
son and Welsberg.
The former, In a conversation with a
Tribune man, last evening, said that
he had never seen such a badly gashed
head as Mulinskl's. He said that the
entire scalp was simply a mas3 of cuts
nnd that It required about 100 stitches
to close the wounds. The patient was
resting comfortably last night and it
Is thought that he will recover.
TEARING DOWN NO. 9 BUILDING
M. J. Kelly Purchased It from tho

Tho work of razing No. 0 school

STORM WAS BRIEF
BUT VERY SEVERE
UNPRECEDENTED RAIN PALL
AND PIERCE LIGHTNING.
Precipitntion for Threo-Qunrtors of
an Hour Was One and Forty-two
Ono-Hundredths Inohos Sowers
Blocked and Many Cellars Ploodod.
Dynamos at tho Providonco Road
Power House Dlsablod and All
Trolley Roads Tied Up for an
Hour Lackawanna Station Struck
A brief 'but extremely severe rnln storm
visited the Lackawanna valley yester
day, cutiBlng a largo amount of dam
nge. The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western station and the Scranton Rail
way company's power house wcro
struck by lightning, and, In several
parts of the city, sowers became)
choked by the excessive How and re
sulted In many cellars being Hooded.
Tho storm came from the south ot
1 o'clock and passed northward up tho
valley, continuing for about an hour.
Tho fall was gentle at first nnd unac
companied by any electrical distur
bance but It grew In Intensity until It
wns a virtual cloud-burst and at Its
height tho thunder and lightning came
on with unusual fierceness. No rnln
was reported at Clark's Summit or Nay
Aug.
From the time the storm had passed
the shower stage until It ceased at a
few minutes before 2 o'clock, forty-five
minutes elapsed. In that time, the pre
cipitation was one and forty-two on"
hundred Inches. II. E. Paine, the local
weatherman, rays this breaks all rec
ords. An Inch an hour Is something
unusual, he says, for this region. In
a whole year the rain 'fall does not ex
ceed thlrty-flvo Inches.
MUCH EXCITEMENT.
No one was killed or Injured as far
as can bo learned. There wns no end
of excitement, though, at the Lacka
wanna station when tho lightning
struck there Tho bolt struck the
weather vane on the cupola nnd after
knocking oft a number of slates and
setting lire to the timbers scattered it
self throughout tho whole building In
following tho gas pipes to the ground.
The waiting rooms were filled with
passengers and many of them in their
fear rushed out Into tho storm. Two
women swooned hut were quickly re
suscitated. Engineer Charles Shafer, who was In
the cab of his locomotive In tho yard,
saw the bolt strike and blew his whistle
as a signal of fire. He says the bolt
resembled a ball of fire and was as
big as a man's two fists.
An alarm was sent in from box 12,
at the Weston mill, and the firemen
with tho aid of ladders and tho chemi
cal engines easily succeeded in prevent
ing the flames from spreading.
Tho trolley company suffered from
both tho lightning and the flood. The
bolt which entered the power house
burnt out a field wire on one of the
dynamos and disabled all the machines.
It was an hour before they could bo
repaired and In tho meantime traffic
was stalled on all lines. Tho water
backed up from tho sewer at the sag
In Carbon street and formed a lake
several feet deep which did not subside
for nearly an hour.
SEWEIIS CHOKED.
The old sewers on Linden street and
Wyoming avenue, as Is their wont,
failed to carry off the water and tho
streets were In consequence turned in
to rivers.
Tho cellar of the board of trade
building was flooded from water that
overflowed the curb and backed up
from the sewer and a quantity of furni
ture owned by D. I. Phillips was badly
soaked. The cellar of Gould's carrlago
works was filled In like manner and
the fires In the furnaces extinguished.
Tho pits in the street car barn, the
cellar of Koemple's drug store, tho
post office basement and tho basement
of the St. Cloud hotel were all flooded.
At tho Globo Warehouse the water
backed up through the wash-room un
der the sidewalk, overflowed and eigh
teen Inch parapet built as a barrlcado
against this very thing and flooding
the floor to the depth of four Inchon
soaked a large quantity of dry goods
contained In large packing cases standi .
Ing on the floor. The damage was not
less than $400, It Is estimated.
The Crystal laundry on Adims ave
nue also suffered from a lL,od. tho
basement filling up to the depth of
nearly three feet.
North of the mountain a heav..- wind
storm prevailed. At Dalton fences
and trees were blown down nnl crop.
badly damaged.
A washout occurred on tho Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Weston neur
the Mt. Pleasant breaker, but It was
not very serious and cautcd little de
lay to traffic.
Lightning struck the residence of C.
L. Griffin at 424 Clay avenue. The
roof was badly damaged, but the build

TONIGHT'S COUNCIL MEETING.
Number of Important Mattors Aro
Schoduled to Como Up.
Select council Is to meet tonight to
dcnl with a number ot Important mat
ters. Chief nmong them Is the propo
sition to change the specifications for
tho South Side sower, so as to cheapen
Its construction and make It possible
for Contractor Koons to undcrtnko tho
Job at Dunn Ilros.' figures.
Tho change contemplated Is-tho sub
stitution of brick for Iron pipe at a
number ot places where tho ono would
bo equally as serviceable as tho other.
Tho recent large Increase In the cost
of Iron pipe Is responsible for tho pro
posed change. Contractor Koons has
submitted his bond to City Solicitor
Vosburg as an enrncst of his willing
ness to take the contract If the change
In specifications Is made. City En
gineer Phillips and the South Sldo
property holders agree to tho change.
The nomination of e-Common Coun
cilman Roland Thomas, of the Fourth
ward, to succeed P. J. O'Eoylo 03 street
commissioner will be presented. Thero
is no certainty that It will be con
firmed. Two of tho selectmen, II. T.
Follows and Richard Williams, want
the position themselves.
The nomination of J. Carpenter as In
spector of tho Sanderson avenue pave
will also be sent In by Mnyor Molr.
An ordinance taxing Itinerant mer
chants $200 a month, under tho pro
visions of the act passed at the last
legislature, Is being drafted by City
Solicitor Vosburg and will likely come
up at tonight's meeting.

Benjamin Harding was born in Aug
ust, 1S.11, in the village of Timsburg,
Somersetshire county, England. In
154 ho came to this county settling
In Pittston, nnd started mining for tho
Pennsylvania Coal company. By am
bition and integrity lie rapidly grew
In the esteem of his employers and rose
step by step until he became tho Inside
superintendent of collieries G and C.
which position he held until elected
mayor, when ho resigned, being suc
ceded by his son, James.
In the mayorallty contest he was the
candidate of the Republican party and
was elected by a large majority. While
In office he discharged his duties In a
way that won him the admiration of
the people at large. He was an active
member of the First Presbyterian
church, of Pittston. Besides his wife
and son, James, two daughters, Flor
ence and Jennie, survive.
The remains were brought to his late
home on North Main street, Pitts
ton, by Undertaker II. C. Cut
ler, who will make all ar
rangements for tho obsequies. The
deceased was secretary of the board
of trade and a member of Keystone
lodge. No. 4. Sons of St. George.
Out of respect to his memory tho city
hall of Pittston was draped In mourn

may be viewed by friends from 11 a. in.
until the time of the servU o. The ser
vices will take place at the family
home, and the Interment In Pittston
cemetery.
The Pittston Gazette of last evening
said: "Naturally the question of the
succession to the mayoralty Is raised
at this time nnd will have to bo met at
an early day. Tho law provides that
in case of a vacancy in the mayoralty,
the councils shall in Joint convention
choose an officer pro tern, to act until
the beginning of the next fiscal year
of the city, which will bo April 1, 1900.
At the next election, In February, 1900,
a mayor will be elected to servo for tho
unexpired part of the term of the lato
Mayor Harding, which will be ono
year."

City Controller Calls a Halt on School
Board Expenditures.
Notice was yesterday nerved upon
tho board of contiol by Controller
Howell that It Is paying too much
money for work and materials, and
that ho does not propose to bo a party

$C17.74. In these bills the board Is

sons Aro of tho Opinion That tho
End of tho Strike Is Near.
All the plans havo been perfected for
tho mass meeting to bo held In tho ar
mory tonight, under the auspices of
tho Building Trades council. Tho strik
ers hope that the public will be well
represented nnd sufficient scats will be
arranged to accommodate a very largo
number of persons,
A few more speakers consented to
deliver addresses yesterday und the re
vised list follows: Judge H. M. Edwatds,
who will preside: James F. McIIugh,
of Washington, D. C; P. J. McGutre,
of Philadelphia; A. C. Cattermutl, of
Chicago; M. F. Conry, Samuel Samter,

William McGreevy, of this city.
The speakers for the Bulldlne? Trades
council will bo Messrs. J. F. Jlammls,
J. J. Coollcan and P. F. Holton.
Opinion Is divided as to the results
to be gained by the meeting. It can be
stated with absolute certainty that the
Builders' Exchange will not bo repre
sented at the gathering. The members
of that body state that It would be use
less for them to attend the meeting.
Many persons are inclined to tho be
lief that tho end of tho strike Is only
a short way off, as It Is generally con
ceded that tho men who are out on
sympathy will not hold out much
longer. Thero aro others, howevcr.who
maintain that the union feeling runs
so high that tho men will hold together
for a long while yet.
The Building Trades council held a
met ting last evening In Carpenters'
hall and the committee in charge of
the mass meeting reported upon the
progress of the arrangements being
made.
